Stapleton Ballet presents Nutcracker

The vibrant, lavish Stapleton Ballet Nutcracker provides a magical start to the holiday season! Now in its 29th year, this production features inspired dancing, beautifully crafted sets and exquisite costumes.

The Victorian-era tale opens with a joyful holiday party, where Clara is given a magical Nutcracker from the mysterious and riveting Drosselmeyer. Audiences will be on the edge of their seats as Clara's Nutcracker transforms into a prince to combat the evil Mouse Queen in the heart-stopping battle scene, featuring a firing cannon and a sparkling tree that grows to over forty feet tall!

Imaginations soar as Clara and the Prince journey through a glittering snowstorm to the Land of the Sugar Plum Fairy, where visually rich surprises abound.

A Christmas Carol: The Broadway Musical

After a one year hiatus, the classic holiday tale returns in December!

A Christmas Carol—The Musical is a spectacular adaptation of Charles Dickens' most beloved story: the tale of curmudgeon Ebenezer Scrooge facing his selfish ways as three ghosts lead him through his past, present and future on Christmas Eve.

This holiday classic gets the full Broadway treatment with a Menken/Ahrens score filled with beautiful melodies.

This Stapleton Theatre Co. tradition has been restaged and re-imagined for performances at the Playhouse in San Anselmo.

Directed by Bruce Vieira with musical direction by Judy Wiesen and choreography by Zoe Swenson Graham, and featuring a cast of local, multi-generational talent, A Christmas Carol offers a joyful musical theatre experience for the whole family!

The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren't the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it."

Mary Poppins is an enchanting mixture of an irresistible story with unforgettable songs. Join us for this very special musical theatre workshop- it's going to be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
